It is believed that the Spa operators were ordered to submit an environmental impact study, which has been denounced by the court as "seriously inadequate and incomplete."

Can only blame themselves though tbh, don't know how much it would of changed the outcome, but surely they should of worked their balls off to present a good case???

-.-

Spa was the best track in the calendar, so thanks to mr ecclestone for destroying it.

Because he paid the local court to go against Spa..?

Keep in mind that it's not just F1 that's affected. 24 hours of Spa? No longer.

That's so stupid..

Absolutely rediculous.

Does it effect track days too?

Quote from JackDaMaster :

Its not that...

Its the fact that they MOVED CLOSE TO A MOTOR RACING CIRCUIT, AND THEN COMPLAIN, which pisses me off.

Thats exactly what 5haz said..... L2R n00b

I bet some Italians (all three) living near Monza just got a great idea.

From what I've heard, the Belgian government is actually quite supportive of Spa, I imagine it provides quite a lot of income for the local area. (this is something I think I read somewhere ages ago so my brain probrably made it up).

Quote from 5haz :

Yeah thats what I said, the problem is that when you give freedom of speech to the people, you are also giving freedom of speech to the idiots and general scumbags. In an ideal world where common sense prevails, a racing circuit should not have to worry about the complaints of residents who moved into the area voulantarily after the circuit did. But unfortunately we live on a planet where environmental concern and stupidity rule over everything, everything else takes the back seat.

Thats exactely what 5haz already told me..... L2R n00b.



Anyway I think I remember hearing that Bernie paid a lot out of his own pockets for the 2007 race to go ahead, so he definitely won't let it go.

You read HIS post and then totally confused it. I read YOUR reply and didn't see 5haz's reply. So I don't need to L2R m8.

I have absolutely no reason to visit that dull country now, I was planning on going to see my first live F1 race in 2010, and the only circuit I felt was worth the money and effort was Spa. I might still go, but install a very loud sound system in my car and spend the weekend driving around to the local residents homes at 3am playing various F1 sounds.

I'd pay you to do it...

I'm sure there would be enough support to keep it going all year, until we drive them out of their homes and buy them for all the motorsport fans.

So I miss a part of his post, and you tell me to L2R. And THEN you miss a WHOLE POST and say that you don't need to L2R.

Good one.



The local government cant be too happy about this after spending so much on re-developing the place.

I'll join you. Two cars are louder than one.

The injunction has already been overturned.

Spa is not going to be closed because of noise complaints; this is just local politics playing itself out.

The point is a missed a whole post therefore I couldn't read it, as I hadn't seen it, so telling me to L2R something I didn't L2C is pretty stupid

I think its been put off rather than overturned completely. Aparrently the report requested did not convince the court that the circuit wouldn't cause long lasting environmental damage, the only long lasting damage to the area would be the economy if the circuit shut, and racing history.

DILLIGAF on the L2R/L2C stuff peeps.

That is awesome.. Hopefully they will be able to stay open for quite some time.

Why are people so stupid nowadays?

Don't over-react, folks.

The initial ruling merely overturned the exploitation license granted to the Spa circuit operators in 2007 to run events with no noise restrictions until 2026. The anti-nuisance group filed a complaint about granting of such a license around that time, and yesterday's ruling only pertains to the unrestricted nature of the license.

The decision has been appealed and suspended, and Spa is negotiating with the anti-nuisance group(s) to reach a compromise. The likely outcome is that a license will be granted with noise restrictions in place, like 95 dbl.

Best to check the real story before jumping down the gun barrel.

No comment.

I think they should make it a street circuit that runs in front of houses just to piss those people off who complained.
